  1. Hello everybody I just purchased a M5 in very good condition at Leica Store Beaumarchais in Paris. This one has been modified to work with 1,5 v batteries. I tried to use Varta V625U/LR9 batteries, but theses ones seem to be too thick to close the battery compartiment. Did someone experienced similar problems with this kind of batteries ? And what do you recommend to solve the problem ? Thanks in advance for your help ! Bernard Tribondeau
  2. Meine schöne M5 hat möglicherweise einen (Schönheits)Fehler: Der Hebel zur Simulation der Brennweite im Sucher (Bildfeldwähler gem. Leica Original-Anleitung) wackelt. Er hat keinen Widerstand bis zur Auslenkung ganz link / rechts. Das bedeutet, er funktioniert vollständig und zeigt die gewünschten Bildfelder für 35, 135, 50 und 90mm an. Hast Du das schon mal gesehen oder kannst sonst weiterhelfen? Danke im Voraus für deine Mühen und liebe Grüsse, Jochen.
  3. Hello everybody, this is my first post and I would like to extend a friendly hello to all of you and also to thank you for your time! This thread is not about finding the right screws for adjusting the rangefinder, but rather about one of them not wanting to move. The infinity adjustment (horizontal plane) seems to be a tiny bit out of alignment with my M5, and although it probably will not have a significant effect, it still nags me. One factor might be that the brass barrel of the lens I commonly use appears to be quite worn, so that when "freshly" attaching the lens, everything seems to be in order but never goes back to true inifity after the lens is focused to a closer distance and back to infinity, if this makes sense. Anyway, the screw inside the roller at the end of the rangefinder arm inside the lens mount does not move. I have tried several straight and angled screwdrivers, even filed one down for better fit, but still: it won't budge. I am afraid of stripping the head of the screw/damaging the arm and wonder: can or should the eccentric screw at the end of the rangefinder arm be lubricated in any way? Or will this result in unwanted movement/reoccuring maladjustment of the screw? When looking straight at the rangefinder arm from the front, there seems to be a small opening in the arm through which I can see the screw, which is why I'm wondering if it's meant to be used for lubrication purposes. What confuses me most though, is that my camera technician has adjusted the rangefinder several times already, and will most probably also have used this screw (although there seem to be other ways after taking the top plate off). Maybe I should ask him if he applied any kind of bonding agent to keep it in place. Although I'd wonder where he should have put it, since it inevitably would come into contact with the roller, inhibiting it from moving freely. If all of this is too confusing, I can add some pictures later for clarification. Thank all of you for your time and have a nice day!
  4. Hello to all, I would like to request your help/advice. I currently own and use a Nikon F3, but feel the need for something new to help with street/travel photography. After doing a fair bit of research I have come up with buying either the M5 or the M6ttl. I can't actually go to a store and handle these cameras and I will be buying online, I am drawn to the M5 but the worry is I am buying something bigger than my F3 when I am looking for something less intimidating when on the street? however the shutter dial and viewfinder look like great additions. With the M5 it seems the Shutter speed in the viewfinder would also be useful and perhaps better than the LED's in the M6? Could anybody who owns an M5 post some size comparison photos to give me some idea of what it looks like next to the F3? How Do you find the M6 TTL, LED system? I will be predominantly using a 35mm and 50mm lens to start with. Any help you can offer is greatly appreciated, Thanks !
  5. What is the Curved lever attached to the lens for?
  6. I just bought a used M5 and discovered a large translucent stain in the upper end of the rangefinder window. I tried to gently wash the outside of the glass, but it seems to be on the inside. Does anyone know what it is and potentially how bad or harmless it is for the rangefinder window? Should I try to return the camera or can I possibly fix it myself?
  7. I recently acquired a Three Lug Chrome M5 in what I would call "user" condition and have been generally happy with it so far, although the infinity focus seems to be off --which may or not be relevant here. On the first few rolls I noticed in the lower left hand corner a conical shape (see examples below from a more recent roll) on only a few exposures per roll. The apparent fogging only appears within the frame of the picture and not in the sprocket area which would seem to rule out a leak through the back. Nevertheless, since the lower left in the negative would be at the upper right in the camera, I suspected that the upper right hand corner of the back door may have had a leak since it roughly corresponds to the affected area of the film which might might be fogging while it "dwells" in that position before being moved into the film gate to be exposed. My M5 has a strip of mohair along the right side of the door which may or may not be original--i'm sure many of you can tell me if it is. Original or not, it seems to have been overly compressed in the upper right hand corner due to its proximity to the hinge. I added some foam rubber strips to that corner in an attempt to fix the leak, if it was a leak at all. Since then, perhaps coincidentally, the frequency of this phenomena has decreased. On my most recent roll, only these two frames are affected. They are adjacent to one another. In the frame with the church steeple (later exposure), the sun was in front of me. In the other, it was behind me. While I did change lenses between the first and second exposures, i don't think that was a factor because the exact same defect has appeared when I hadn't changed lenses. Also the defect has appeared in both horizontally and vertically held camera positions--and it has a consistent shape and position in the image. I have researched this on various forums and one fellow with a similar problem was advised that this was caused by leak from the rangefinder window which the forum member claimed was essentially a latent defect in the camera. I found that hard to believe due to the fact that its very sporadic and appears in vertical orientations when the view finder window would be far less susceptible to sun light from above. Any thoughts?
  8. Hello everybody, I currently have a Leica M2 and now I've been looking into the M5. I stumbled upon one for sale in my country, but I noticed in its photos that this particular camera has a strange metal part/piece in the front of the camera, right bellow the shutter speed selector. I asked the seller about it but he said he bought it like that and has no clue about what it is, he said he thinks it may be a support of some sort. I really don't know, but maybe it is something adapted there to prevent the user to change the shutter speed by accident? Just wondering about it. Apart from that, the camera is said to be working completlely fine. Has anyone ever seen something like this? Any guesses are welcome. Thanks in advance!
